My Personal Collection: A Lifetime in Zimbabwe
Born in Zimbabwe in 1967, I grew up surrounded by the nation’s vibrant history and dramatic economic shifts. From the Rhodesian dollar to the iconic $100 trillion note, I’ve spent decades collecting banknotes that tell Zimbabwe’s story. Every note on this site comes from my personal collection, gathered during my life in Zimbabwe until I moved to the UK in 2015. I guarantee 100% authenticity, backed by photos, paychecks, and documents from my time there. For skeptical collectors, I offer UV light testing to verify each note’s legitimacy. This is my passion, my legacy, and my promise to you.
My Collecting Journey
1967: Born in Salisbury, Rhodesia
I was born in Salisbury (now Harare) during the Rhodesian era, when the Rhodesian dollar featured wildlife like the sable antelope. My fascination with banknotes began as a child, collecting coins and notes from local markets.
1980: Independence and the Zimbabwean Dollar
Zimbabwe’s independence brought the Z$. As a teenager, I started saving notes, from $1 to $100, each reflecting the new nation’s pride. I kept paychecks from my first job to document my collection’s origins.
2000s: Hyperinflation and Trillion-Dollar Notes
Living through Zimbabwe’s hyperinflation, I collected notes as they skyrocketed to $100 trillion. These notes, now global collectibles, are a core part of my collection, each with a story of survival.
2015: Moving to the UK
In 2015, I brought my collection to the UK, with documents and photos proving their provenance. My collection includes rare Rhodesian dollars, bond notes, and more, all preserved with care.
